BREAKING NEWS: Simeone extends Atletico Madrid contract

Son Heung-min is not worried about talk linking Harry Kane with a move away from Tottenham and is instead focusing on his own future with the Premier League club.

Kane admitted last month he feels at a crossroads in his career following another trophyless campaign with Tottenham, where he has spent the past 17 years.

The prolific striker, who is currently away on international duty with England, has been linked with Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Son formed an almost-telepathic partnership with Kane last term, the pair assisting one another 14 times to surpass Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton s long-standing record of 13 for Blackburn Rovers in 1994-95.

However, amid growing rumours over his attack partner s future, S…

Paul Pogba s back-and-forth career could seemingly continue if Juventus have their way.

Moroccan champions Wydad Casablanca are through to the CAF Champions League final for the first time since 2011 after overcoming USM Alger 3-1 in the semi-final second leg.

Following a 0-0 draw in Algeria, Wydad took charge on home soil as Walid El Karti and Achraf Bencharki struck either side of half-time.

Ayoub Abdellaoui reduced the deficit after the hour to give the visitors hope, but winger Bencharki added his second in stoppage time to seal a showdown with either Etoile du Sahel or Ah Ahly.

Wydad s chances of claiming a second continental title did take a blow with the second half dismissal of Amine Attouchi, who was shown two yellow cards in the space of nine minutes.

Felix Sanchez said Qatar are not at the Copa America to take selfies with Lionel Messi as the tournament guests look to stun Argentina and qualify for the quarter-finals.

Qatar and Argentina – runners-up in 2015 and 2016 – will meet in Porto Alegre on Sunday, with a quarter-final berth on the line.

It s true we are not very well known in South America, but we have super-profes…

Louis van Gaal is hopeful of striking a deal to bring Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo back to Manchester United.

Ronaldo swapped Old Trafford for the Santiago Bernabeu in 2009 for a then-world record fee of £80million, and has enjoyed a remarkable six-year stay in the Spanish capital, breaking Madrid s all-time goalscoring record earlier this season.

However, speculation is mounting that the Portugal captain will leave Madrid next year, with Paris Saint-Germain thought to be at the head of the queue for his signature.

But, speaking after his side s 2-1 Premier League win at Watford on Saturday, Van Gaal indicated that United are keen on a reunion with Ronaldo.

Ronaldo plays on the wings and he is fast and scores goals, said the Dutchman.

Over the weekend Watford replaced head coach Javi Gracia with Quique Sanchez Flores, who had previously managed the Hornets. Gracia was a year into a four-and-half-year deal with the club.

The decision is not a shock considering Watford’s history and the team s poor start to their Premier League campaign. However, the decision surprised Gracia, who took the club to just their second-ever FA Cup final appearance last season.

Watford enjoyed a good season

Last season was Watford’s best season ever in the Premier League era, as the Hornets finished 11th place in the table. For much of the season, the Hornets were hovering around the top seven.

However, the team’s run to the FA Cup final proved to be a distraction towards the end of the season when it came to…
